You what Zella - never heard of it - but if you have I shall bow to your superior knowledge base.

And of course, it does fit in the category of 'Occupation'.

I'm surpised there haven't been more replies to this - I've got a bunch of common as muck songs but there's no sense in my posting them all - c'mon people out there !  Take up the challenge !

Zella - your unique answer made me 'Steve Harley'  :) ;) :D
